Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
2
Pour the warm milk into the dry ingredients, then add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3
Mix the ingredients until combined, then knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness. Use a glass or a doughnut cutter to cut out circles.
6
Place the cut-out doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and cover them with a clean kitchen towel. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
7
In a large pot, heat the oil to about 340°F (170°C). Test the oil by dropping in a doughnut; if it immediately floats to the surface and gently bubbles, the oil is ready.
8
Fry the doughnuts for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them, and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
9
Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, use a piping bag to fill them with salmonberry jam.
10
Dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar and a pinch of cinnamon for an extra burst of flavor.
